Here it is in my pocket.  Isn't that odd now? Yet, after all. Why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?"Boromir: "It's a strange fate that we suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing..."- Gandalf's ride into Hobbiton, especially when the little Hobbit children come running up to the road beggin Gandalf to come play with them, then they're so disappointed when he simply ignores them...until the little firework display.- The main theme, plus the theme that starts after they first see the light coming off of the Balrog until the stairs collapse.- Galadriel Flipping Out: Yikes!- Pretty much every fighting sequence.- The entire opening narrative, come to think of it.  Fantastically done (if a bit incorrect, storywise).You know what?  It's probably easier to think of the things I didn't like.  There's just too much that I *did* like!</blockquote>
